Pittsburgh Family And Medical Leave Act Lawyer

The Family and Medical Leave Act, a set of federal rules commonly known as FMLA, provides protection to employees who need to take time off from work for important health and personal reasons. The best known feature of FMLA is its provision of up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave for an employee while protecting that employee from losing his or her job or being demoted or otherwise punished for being absent.
Did Your Employer Break The Law?
If your employer mistreated you because of FMLA-protected leave that you took or requested, you can file a lawsuit in federal or state court, seeking compensation for damages caused by the unlawful actions of your employer. Damages can include lost wages (both “front pay” and “back pay”), infliction of emotional distress and more.
